ROMA - 19th August, 2017

Birds not Liberated. Liberation scheduled at 7:30am

Congratulations to Terry Stephens winner of 1st Roma, Terry's 3rd Combine win in a row and fourth for the year. Don't forget this week (for NRC Club Only) is the KELSO CLASSIC (a big thank you once again to Wayne Kelso for sponsorship and his longstanding association with the NRC). Rules are: three birds to be nominated on basketing night; no entry fee, clocking best bird (i.e. one bird per flyer); paying three place getters for (this is where it gets interesting) an undisclosed sum of prize money. This week is the second of our Thursday night basketing (7pm - clocks are to be on the table time) and continues from now onwards, with clock off to remain at 5pm Saturday for this Roma with an anticipated release time of 7:30am. The welfare limitation per crate is 21 birds - but the 25 bird limit remains. Therefore if you wish to send your allocated 25 bird limit then 4 birds will have to go into a shared crate. This weeks toss has been moved to Chinchilla (as a number of flyers have asked could the tossing distance be moved out a little further) Chinchilla birds have an anticipated release of Friday 7:30 am (unless otherwise advised) Funds remain for additional races and I would anticipate at least two (if not more) of the longer distances. This will be discussed and an updated schedule will be released shortly. REMINDER: NRC Breeders plate is planned for the 2nd September.
